About Our Museum

Discover the rich tapestry of our community's history and culture

Founded in 1995, our Community Heritage Museum serves as the guardian of our shared history. What began as a small collection of artifacts in a single room has grown into a vibrant cultural center that attracts visitors from around the region.

Our mission is to collect, preserve, and interpret the diverse stories of our community, ensuring that future generations can learn from and be inspired by those who came before them.

The museum features permanent and rotating exhibits, educational programs, and community events that bring history to life.
